Bonnie & Christina

Bonnie's early childhood experience began in 2004, while she commenced at Carina Heights Child Care & Development in early 2013. She really enjoys being a part of the Carina Heights community, working alongside wonderful educators and families. Bonnie has worked with children of various ages across different child care settings. Why is early childhood her chosen profession? She enjoys being apart of the special process and development of each child's early learning stages. She enjoys helping to provide each child with a safe and secure environment, with fun ways of learning as they grow through life. Bonnie holds both a Certificate 3 in Children's services and a Diploma in Children's services. She is also a Certified Supervisor.​

Christina has been involved with Carina Heights Child Care and Development since 2008 when she completed her vocational placement during her Diploma studies. She has spent the last 6 years as a lead educator at CHCCD developing her skills and abilities as an educator working with children from 6 weeks to 3 years. Christina began in the Aqua room, in January 2010 and remained in that room until her move, with the group of children to the Blue room in 2015. Last year saw Christina move again with the group of children, to the Yellow room. This year will see Christina step down to the role of Assistant educator and move back to the Aqua Room to work once again with Bonnie and the youngest children in our care. Christina who holds a Diploma of Children's Studies and a Certified Supervisor certificate has a strong passion for working with children. She believes that every child and family is unique and she strives to create a warm, friendly and accommodating environment where children are free to explore and build on their curiosity and interests. Christina looks forward to meeting all the special children and families who will come through her room in the coming years.
